To secure sustainable Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB) outcomes, organizations must integrate DEIB values into their values, policies and practices. This begins with leadership showing up as DEIB advocates and role models, ready to invest in a culture rooted in DEIB values.
We built DEIB Culture Works to build cultures of trust, respect and belonging, that attract, foster and retain the effective talent a highly engaged, diverse workforce requires.
It’s a collaborative effort. We partner with leadership throughout the series and after. We’ll assess, co-implement, measure progress, adjust when necessary, and stay accountable to achieving our cultural goals… and keeping them.
Doing this work gives us all a deeper learning and understanding of ourselves, each other, and the DEIB journey we’re all taking together. It leads us toward a more inclusive, collaborative environment and the realizations that we have more in common with each other than not.
DEIB Culture Works
After a thorough DEIB organizational assessment process, we use the data we gather to ensure that our workshops specifically address your organizational needs.
DEIB Culture Works engagement workshops are grounded in personal and professional development. It is not a one and done training. It’s about our ongoing personal and professional development - how we create a culture of belonging where we can all contribute as our authentic selves.
It begins with rolling out workshop modules every 2-4 weeks, utilizing an interactive group/cohort model. Each module comes with pre-work preparation that may include short articles, videos, reflection, meeting with your assigned learning partner, practicing a tool, and/or a short exercise.
During the highly interactive workshops, we constantly tap into the wisdom in the “room”, to learning from each others’ experiences as they surface. Every module includes group dialogue based on the exchange of perspectives and stories of the participants.
Module overall topics include:
Setting the Foundation: DEIB Pathways to Mission & Culture of Trust, Respect, and Belonging
Building Awareness: Establishing Common Understanding & Language Around DEIB Concepts & Influences.
Jumping In with Good Intentions: The Impact of Implicit Bias, Stereotypes & Micro-aggressions.
Building a DEIB Toolkit: Identifying Behaviors and Practices for Inclusion and Accessibility.
Staying the journey with empathy, humility and courage; Addressing polarities, next level commitments.
